I love making my own pizza dough. Especially with all that measuring out, mixing and kneading along with the minichefs. But sometimes, especially after a long hard day at work, I just need quick and easy. So the Sierra Leonean in me came up with this easy couscous pizza dough. When I say easy, I really do mean easy. As in mix the couscous with some boiled water and let stand. Then add in an egg, some chopped herbs and cheese, spread out on a baking tray and bake for 15 mins. And pizza base ‘done done’ as we would say back home.
But wait why stop there. Now topped with the even easier sardine fillets, fresh cherry tomatoes and olives, and five minutes later – there is supper. Or add anything else instead – maybe some left over roasted vegetables or sweetcorn (Mum always makes sure there is some maize growing in our compound) – basically any comfort food that is quick and easy. Other recipe you migth like with a pizza include tomato and courgette chutney from Elizabeth’s Kitchen Diary and halloumi burrito from Foodie Quine. Here is how to make a couscous pizza base all topped with some sardines, tomatoes and olives. Easy peasey. Pizza dough recipe.
